What am I saying?
A simple, instant-fun quiz where you guess what someone is saying.
As the name suggests, an adult mouths some words, and the children try to guess them.
If you decide on themes in advance—like animals or vehicles—it’ll be easier for the kids to figure out the answers.
You can also adjust the difficulty by changing the length of the words or phrases.
Give it a try when you suddenly feel like running a quick quiz.
And instead of just asking the questions, try doing it to a song or music to make it even more exciting.
Nursery Rhyme Intro Quiz
Many preschools sing songs during morning meetings or at the end of the day.
Here’s a fun activity I recommend: a nursery rhyme intro quiz.
Use familiar nursery rhymes and enjoy guessing them from the intro! You can play the intro from a CD, play a little on the piano, or even hum a tune—it all sounds like fun.
Children often know the songs but forget or don’t remember the titles, so through the intro quiz, I hope they’ll learn the songs and their titles together.
It would also be fun to do team competitions or have the kids compete against a teachers’ team!

Insect Evolution Quiz
Let’s think about what kind of insect it will grow into! Here are some ideas for an Insect Evolution Quiz.
It’s a fun quiz you can enjoy while learning about the mysterious growth process of insects.
By thinking about what kind of insect a larva will turn into, it can spark interest in the mechanisms of nature and the changes of life.
When colorful insects and cute illustrated bugs appear, children’s curiosity will grow, and they’ll deepen their knowledge about insects while enjoying the quiz! As they predict the answers, they’ll feel closer to the world of insects.
Whose voice? Quiz
How about trying a voice-guessing quiz that everyone can enjoy together? In this game, you listen to various people’s voices and guess who they belong to.
For example, try guessing the voices of popular anime characters.
If one of your favorite characters shows up, it’ll naturally put you in a good mood.
You could focus on a specific anime, or define it more broadly with characters from popular series—that sounds fun too.
You could also make quizzes featuring celebrities or people you know.
Whose foot is it?
Enjoy a “Whose Foot Is It?” quiz while watching videos.
This idea uses videos available on platforms like YouTube.
In the video, an animal’s foot appears first, and you guess which animal it belongs to.
You’ll see everything from animals with distinctive feet, like horses, to trickier ones, like monkeys.
The wide variety keeps it from getting boring.
If you’re not using videos, you can recreate the activity with photos and cut-out construction paper.
Try whichever suits the situation.
Gesture Game
The gesture game, where one person acts something out and others guess what it is, is a classic and popular recreation game often seen on variety TV shows.
The person doing the gestures doesn’t speak or say anything aloud.
It’s easy to slip into talking, but stay silent and convey the prompt using gestures only.
Set a time limit and see how many prompts can be guessed—playing in teams makes it even more exciting!
Trick Quiz
https://www.tiktok.com/@odango.support/video/7339056189742812434Here are some playful trick quiz ideas that are irresistibly misleading but super exciting! They’re funny because you answer with confidence, only to find out the reality is different.
Let’s try a quiz game like that.
For example, show an illustration that looks like rabbit ears and ask, “What do you think this is?” Once most kids answer “a rabbit,” flip open the part of the illustration that was hidden.
Out comes a picture of a flower.
You can almost hear the kids say, “What?!” and “Why?!” Embrace those reactions and keep the quiz going.
Their responses are absolutely adorable!
